like I did before the storm;

"Trying to keep the light from going in and the clouds from ripping out my broken heart. We always say a heart is not whole without the one who gets you through the storm." | Harley Blake | Photographer | | Short skirts and boots | Happy |

“Yeah, I guess I could be, but that’s not really my thing. I leave it up to the other girls to do the whole groupie thing.” She shrugged. “I go out when it’s necessary, but most of the time I just like to chill. The bar and club scene isn’t really me.” Nevi added. “You could have gone with them, you know? Or out with the rest of the crew. Someone as beautiful as you shouldn’t be inside flipping through photos all night.” Getting up from her seat, Nevi moved over to the small kitchen area of the bus to open the fridge and pull out a bottle of beer. “Want one? Who says we’ve gotta go out to get a little lose?” She teased, wiggling her eyebrows at the Latina.

“I would have thought different. Not to stereotype you or anything but first glance, you definitely look like a club kid.” Harley chuckled. “I’ve grown out of the club scene, I guess. It gets tiring being so beautiful and constantly having other beautiful girls buying me drinks and trying to take me home.” She teased at Nevi. “I’d rather be flipping through photos. It’s a nice relaxer.” Harley watched Nevi move into the kitchen, her small smile turning into a grin at the sight of the beer bottle. “I like the way you think. Yeah, I’ll take one.”

“Yeah, I think this might have been the best show we’ve played all tour. It was really hype tonight, that makes me wanna perform even better when the crowd reacts like that.” Nevi confessed. “I’m glad you’re enjoying it. If I never got a chance to make it as an artist, or if I never joined this group, taking pictures for bands and shit like that would be something I would have definitely done instead. It’s an awesome job.” She added before chuckling along with Harley. “Look into it! You’re great at it, it’s something you really enjoy, so why not? You know?” Nevi nodded.

“Yeah....Maybe one day.” Harley agreed. “I’d thought you’d be with the other girls right now. Possibly taking out a few fans for a drink or something before we all left. I’m sure that’s what Steph is doing.” Harley didn’t mean that in a  jealous way but she knew how her ex girlfriend liked to play her games. If she wasn’t trying to get Harley’s attention directly, she’d do it by bringing innocent people into their mess of a relationship. “From the Instagram comments you’re the Harry Styles or whatever is used for the favorite. They either want you or whatever you use to dye your hair.”

Chuckling softly, Nevi continue checking out the photos before locking her phone and setting it down next to her. “Yeah, well…either way you still got some pretty amazing shots. I think this might have been our best show of the entire tour. We really rocked it tonight and i’m beyond exhausted.” She groaned as she ran her fingers through her hair. “Are you enjoying being on the road again with us so far?” Nevi asked, figuring she could make a little small talk with the other girl since they were currently the only ones hanging out on the bus. Nevi wasn’t quiet ready to crash yet, they had tons of driving to do into another state, so she wanted stay away as long as she could and rest during the drive. “I’m glad you decided to come along with us. I don’t think we could have picked a better photographer.”

Harley gave Nevi a small smile, relaxing more into her seat. “You guys did have an awesome vibe. Even I couldn’t help getting into it tonight and I’ve seen you guys perform a thousand times. I imagine the fans are probably tired as hell too. Screaming your name and all isn’t easy.” She chuckled lightly. She fiddled with her fingers, debating how honest she should be with her answer. Not that there was anything bad about the tour but she wasn’t exactly close with Nevi. “It’s been pretty awesome so far. It’s not often I get a free ride around the U.S with mostly people I like.” She chuckled at the end of her sentence. “Thanks. Maybe I’ll start doing this professionally once you guys hit the big charts.”

Nevi pulled the strap to her guitar from around her shoulder, then sighed as she headed backstage after their performance. The group had decided to go on a small thirteen city tour, which was something that they definitely needed. Each city there was something new that Nevi fell in love with. Not to mention, she was finally given the chance to do something she really enjoyed, playing music. The all girl group was given their break after being discovered on YouTube and it was honestly a dream come true for the four college friends. After putting away her guitar and grabbing her bag and carry case, Nevi headed towards the tour bus to freshen up a bit and chill for a little while with her bandmates, which wasn’t anything new. Their crew usually hung out with them as well, one of which one of the girls was currently seeing on and off. Plotting down onto one of the couches on the bus, Nevi scrolled through her Instagram, checking out a few of the photos Harley had snapped. “These look really, Harls.” She stated, looking over at the Latina and flashing her a smile.

Harley had been chilling on one of the couches in the tour bus, getting a few minutes of quiet to look through her pictures of tonight’s show and post them before some of the crew and the girls get on. She had to admit this tour was a pretty sweet gig even if she had to deal with her ex girlfriend but not every situation could be perfect. At least they were still in that friend mode and no drama had happened yet, even if her ex liked to drop hints thinking Harley came on the road with her so they could be close. She was just lucky that her ex had remembered she had taken photography all four years of High School. Harley really just needed to get out of her dumpy apartment after trying and failing at a couple of dreams of hers and frankly airplane tickets cost too much without a good job so might as well get a free ride from city to city and get paid for taking pictures.  Harley looked up when she heard her name and smiled back at Nevi. “Thanks but I did the easy part. You guys looked really good up there tonight.” She replied.
